Chad Quigley is contemplating a run for mayor of Toledo. He has the chutzpah to pull it off. He has begun a new blog for the purpose of introducing himself and his ideas to his fellow Toledoans.
He lives in the inner city and has spent a great deal of time bringing new life back to home on Putnam Street. The result can be seen in this photo. Chad has been very active in neighborhood improvement and safety. Unfortunately and not unusual, he has run into red tape when trying to deal with city bureaucracy.

Nonetheless, he does not give up the good fight to bring his neighborhood back to its once good standing in the city. In fact, I had an uncle who lived on Putnam all of his life and that street was once a grand display of many fine, well-kept homes. You can read more of his efforts on neighborhood improvements as well as his own personal struggle with safety in his area on this blog.
Good luck, Chad, and drop by to tell us the latest in your quest.

did you know the Galliers --of Western Shoe Company?
2457 Putnam st. or 2547 --not sure of number --but I had a pen pal, girlfriend at Winona Lake, who was of that family
I suppose your uncle knew them. wonderful family. ACtually there were 2 families of that name, brothers.
I have another friend who is refurbishing her family home on that street --intending to rent someday.
Small world.
It's been a blog for 1 day...and Mr. Raker has already had me outed on 2 other blogs..hehehehe. I built the blog to explore my ideas publicly. In this way, I hope that within a few months I'll know if I'm able to build support or if I'm nutty as some say. The worst that can happen is that ideas will be presented and debated.
If I'm lucky, I will get a small movement going that will drive change, even if I'm not the candidate of choice.
If you want to know the real sting...I did find a job, part time, in Perrysburg. This is one of the many reasons I'm venturing out with my ideas.
The fact that you are 'nutty' qualifies you highly for political office. Just look at Toledo's present mayor and City Council.
There is that ;-)
I "dropped" the 5 future job positions at the helm of the new Toledo Mayoral Administration on myu blog tonite...enjoy;-)
